Hi Steffan, I am aware of two links not working, but since being informed I have found both on the wayback archive. Could you please send me a list of links that are not working for you, both for my sake but also because I could then send you either the wayback link or the original article if I have it in my files (most likely do). I don't think I have the article with the original links, I think I amde them hyperlinks straight off. In any case, for the 2 I'm aware of, that would make no difference. The two I am aware of are: "Meanwhile, in the initial months of the uprising Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar all gave strong support to Assad" (the Saudi link doesn't work, the others do).
